Marshall Islands Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan Vision “The Marshall Islands, this nation of islands, will have lush green vegetation and its environment will be clean and intact. Its waters will be abundant with its resources. We, the people, living in love and harmony with one another and the environment, will continue to harvest our resources sustainably while enjoying our rich culture and traditions, a right which we have inherited from our forefathers.” The Republic of the Marshall Islands BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN by The Republic of the Marshall Islands National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan Team 2000 A Global Environmental Facility/United Nations Development Programme Project 2 Statement... 3 Preface In 1997, UNDP Suva, through the Global Environment Facility secured US$230,000 for the Republic of Marshall Islands to assist the Ministry of Resources and Development, through the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP). The aim of the NBSAP is to facilitate the protection and sustainable use of Marshall Islands’ biodiversity. Biodiversity and biological resources are fundamental to so many aspects of our lives - for example, health and medicine, food and nutrition, energy, land use, education and employment and thus the decision to prepare an NBSAP was a crucial one for the future of the nation and the people. The project entitled National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and Report to the Conference of Parties has been managed by the Environmental Protection Agency with many other Ministries and community groups since 1997. The plan was intended to reflect national aspirations and to build upon existing national strategies and plans. It has involved wide consultation with many sectors of the community and has resulted in a strategy and plan which are practical, implementable and sustainable, with a high level of community ownership. The background to this process extends over some years. The Republic of the Marshall Islands was an early signatory to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity which opened for signature during the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development - the Earth Summit - in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. Long before the Earth Summit, of course, people were very concerned about the exploitation of biodiversity. The conflict between short-term exploitation of our resources and the pressure of use through new technologies and scientific activity, has placed a great deal of pressure on flora and fauna, particularly in developing countries. The CBD, which came into force in 1993, represents a major step toward conserving natural resources in that it places the responsibility for conservation on respective nations. Other issues addressed include intellectual property rights, technology transfer, access to genetic resources, incentives, and the development of financial mechanisms to assist governments to implement the Convention. In ratifying the Convention, the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands recognizes that it is responsible for conserving national biodiversity. It also agrees to take actions ensuring that natural resources will not be used in a non-sustainable fashion that would jeopardize the country’s own biological diversity or that of neighbouring countries. The effectiveness of this Convention therefore depends to a large extent on the manner in which it is implemented at the national level. The Convention has three main objectives: • the conservation of biodiversity; • the sustainable use of its components; and • fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. To achieve its objectives, the Convention, which includes 42 articles, emphasizes national actions and details some techniques to achieve its goals. These include integrating biodiversity concerns into national decision-making, developing incentive measures, and promoting wider public and private sector involvement in the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. We must be careful to avoid the trap of thinking that merely by acceding to the Biodiversity Convention and by preparing reports and plans, that we will solve the problems concerning the preservation of certain species, or non- sustainable use of natural resources. The real responsibility rests with the communities – the governments, NGOs, the scientists, businesses and civil society. Only with full participation and co-operation of all groups, can our natural heritage be protected and sustainably managed for the benefit of future generations. 2 The Republic of the Marshall Islands must be congratulated for being the first Pacific Island country to develop its Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. The excellent document – ‘The Marshall Islands – Living Atolls Amidst the Living Sea’, gives a colorful and serious scientific base upon which the Strategy and Plan have been built. The Strategy and Plan reflect closely the outcomes of atoll and national consultations and point to a strong awareness in Marshall Islands that community resource management, formal and non-formal education, and recognition of traditional culture and practices, are the key to sustainable management of biodiversity. What comes next for the Republic of the Marshall Islands? It is important that the momentum gained in the development of these documents be maintained and put to practical use. In the national workshop for example, the protection of marine biodiversity was identified as a strategic theme, with training and capacity building in resource conservation, and sustainable fishing practices the means to achieve the goal. In order to realise the goal of protecting the marine environment, Republic of the Marshall Islands will now have to commit resources and time to ensure that biodiversity is well managed for our children and our children’s children and beyond. How this may be done is for the nation to decide, but there are some valuable possibilities which may be considered and utilized. Several countries are working very seriously towards the establishment of Trust Funds for the Environment, and others have attempted Debt for Nature Swaps. The challenge is how to make the activities environmentally and economically sustainable. We have to deal with these long-term issues and as responsible citizens, not be content with merely producing a report and action plan which may never be implemented or enforced. The real challenge now is to have the political will to see the Strategy and Plan translated into meaningful activity. We at UNDP are confident that the Republic of the Marshall Islands can meet this challenge. Romulo V.

First and foremost, we would like to thank Maxine Becker, librarian of the College of the Marshall Islands, and her assistant, Mary Silk for their tireless efforts in obtaining the needed references for this project – even at times, under challenging circumstances. And a special thanks to Eileen Herring, Science Reference Librarian at the University of Hawaii for her diligence in supplying the requested references. We are also grateful to Maxine for all her other assistance and her proofreading of the report as it progressed. We whole-heartedly want to thank each and every person who participated in the six Atoll Workshops, and the National Workshop. All of these participants so enthusiastically shared their knowledge of animals, plants, fishing methods and other traditional practices – knowledge that otherwise would likely not have been available. Their insight indeed proved to be invaluable in the preparation of both the National Report and the Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. This information should continue to be valuable to the people of the Marshall Islands well into the future. All of us who were involved with this project are very appreciative of the support and assistance that was given by the United Nations Development Programme/Global Environmental Facility in Suva, Fiji. The funding and technical support, as well as other assistance and advice that we received from this agency, enabled us to produce this report, and hence, be able to compile and preserve important knowledge about the biodiversity of the Marshall Islands in a way that will be accessible to many people. Donald W. Buden of the Division of Mathematics and Science of the College of Micronesia, Pohnpei was of tremendous help with his progressive proofreading and input, including his identification of lizard pictures. Shane Anderson, biologist and collector from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Peter J. R. Hill, former science teacher from the Pacific Islands Central School during Micronesia's Trust Territory Administration, were both extremely helpful in their proofreading throughout all stages of the report, as was Dolores Low, the National Consultant's mother, up until her death late 1998. Many other were similarly very helpful in their willingness to offer insight into specific subjects – Neil Reimer, Entomologist, Hawaii Department of Agriculture, for his ant identification;

    December 2019 Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions Lauren Dickey, Erica Downs, Andrew Taffer, and Heidi Holz with Drew Thompson, S. Bilal Hyder, Ryan Loomis, and Anthony Miller Maps and graphics created by Sue N. Mercer, Sharay Bennett, and Michele Deisbeck Approved for Public Release: distribution unlimited. IRM-2019-U-019755-Final Abstract This report provides a general map of the information environment of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The focus of the report is on the information environment—that is, the aggregate of individuals, organizations, and systems that shape public opinion through the dissemination of news and information—in the PICs. In this report, we provide a current understanding of how these countries and their respective populaces consume information. We map the general characteristics of the information environment in the region, highlighting trends that make the dissemination and consumption of information in the PICs particularly dynamic. We identify three factors that contribute to the dynamism of the regional information environment: disruptors, deficits, and domestic decisions. Collectively, these factors also create new opportunities for foreign actors to influence or shape the domestic information space in the PICs. This report concludes with recommendations for traditional partners and the PICs to support the positive evolution of the information environment. This document contains the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of the sponsor or client. Distribution Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. 12/10/2019 Cooperative Agreement/Grant Award Number: SGECPD18CA0027. This project has been supported by funding from the U.S.

    THE GORDIAN KNOT: AMERICAN AND BRITISH POLICY CONCERNING THE CYPRUS ISSUE: 1952-1974 Michael M. Carver A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor This study examines the role of both the United States and Great Britain during a series of crises that plagued Cyprus from the mid 1950s until the 1974 invasion by Turkey that led to the takeover of approximately one-third of the island and its partition. Initially an ancient Greek colony, Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century, which allowed the native peoples to take part in the island’s governance. But the idea of Cyprus’ reunification with the Greek mainland, known as enosis, remained a significant tenet to most Greek-Cypriots. The movement to make enosis a reality gained strength following the island’s occupation in 1878 by Great Britain. Cyprus was integrated into the British imperialist agenda until the end of the Second World War when American and Soviet hegemony supplanted European colonialism. Beginning in 1955, Cyprus became a battleground between British officials and terrorists of the pro-enosis EOKA group until 1959 when the independence of Cyprus was negotiated between Britain and the governments of Greece and Turkey. The United States remained largely absent during this period, but during the 1960s and 1970s came to play an increasingly assertive role whenever intercommunal fighting between the Greek and Turkish-Cypriot populations threatened to spill over into Greece and Turkey, and endanger the southeastern flank of NATO.

Rising Islands - Enhancing adaptive capacities in Kiribati through Migration with Dignity. Human Geography, advanced level, Master thesis for Master Exam in Human Geography, 30 ECTS credits. Supervisor: Martina Angela Caretta Language: English The main body of research within climate-change induced migration has focused on displacement migration. The “sinking islands” reference is often used to describe island states being in the forefront of climate change impacts, and their inhabitants at risk of becoming the first climate change refugees in history. The aim of this thesis is to understand what circumstances are needed for Kiribati’s ‘Migration with Dignity’ concept to enhance the adaptive capacity of livelihoods. By using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach this thesis examines what impacts climate change has on different aspects of livelihoods in Kiribati. This study uses a case study approach. Data has been collected through 14 semi-structured interviews during an eight weeks long minor field study on the capital atoll South Tarawa. While Kiribati faces many development challenges, being a least developed country with a rent-based economy, climate change puts additional strains on the country’s capacities to cope with the increasing monetization and urbanisation, and abilities to satisfy the growing population’s aspirations. The empirical evidence shows a need among the population to find education and skilled wage employment.

  • Chapter 4 the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau
    Chapter 4 The Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau By Anirban Biswas A. Brief overview of the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement During the past decade the intraregional share of total Asia-Pacific exports increased from 44% in 2000 to 52% in 2013, with developing Asia-Pacific countries making the highest contribution.1 In this regard, regional trade agreements such as APTA could be a very good platform for expanding intraregional trade under the agreement. As APTA provides a good platform for South-South trade and has provisions for special and differential treatment for small Pacific Island countries with special needs, such as Micronesian Trade and Economic Community (MTEC) member countries – the Federated States of Micronesia (hereinafter referred to as Micronesia), the Marshall Islands and Palau, these three countries can reap the benefits from increasing trade in the region by joining APTA.2 This section discusses briefly how the study objective was conceived and provides an overview of trade among the Participating States of APTA. It also sets the objective, and discusses the methodology and data sources related to the study. In section B, the economic background, geographical condition, historical/political aspects and external trade structures as well as different preferential trade agreements of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau are discussed. Section C evaluates the export potential for the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau by examining their exports under the existing concessions given by the Participating States of APTA (covering more than 10,000 items in the Fourth Round). The export potential at 6-digit Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) level has been identified.
